I like Henry rifles and S&W revolvers

[JEBar]

well understood on liking Henry rifles and Smith revolvers .... the only way I know of to improve on it is liking Henry rifles and Ruger revolvers ...

Well, we all know that Clovispup and I both love Henrys. I also have a newer model 10. It shoots great and as excellent fit and finish. Clovispup just got a Ruger SP101 in .357. Fit and finish isn't quite as nice as the Smith, but it is built like a tank, and shoots extremely well.

So, we have several bases covered.

This model particularly caught my attention -- very sharp-looking revolver. All-around nice metal finish, and the wood grips look really great! Your entire collection is very cool.

As your MSP issue in '66, did you find it easy or challenging to master the model 10 with rear fixed sight? I have one .22LR S/A action revolver with a fixed sight (paired with my Henry SGC), and my derringer has the same. The S&W LCRX revolver I recently acquired has an adjustable rear sight with a front blade ramp. Haven't yet decided, which I like better.

But whichever one I use, it's always great fun to shoot a revolver!

Just found this section in the Henry Forum.

This heavy barrel model 10 is just like the one I was issued in 1966 when I joined the Michigan State Police.

No problem with the fixed sight model 10.

My favorite gun to shoot, bar none, is a fixed rear sight Smith and Wesson .38 or .357 revolver.

The first revolver I ever shot was a .357 S&W model 581. I have passed on a few 681s that I should not have. (681 is the stainless twin of the 581)
